Really liked the Diamond Skills idea in the UD set but the 92 set overall is pretty boring. Not much of a differentiator from 89-91 if you ask me.

Hey, a card I actually have!

I could probably buy the already complete sets cheaper somewhere else, but I like getting my maildays.

Even by early 90's standard this wasn't great.

Tony Gwynn had a career batting average of .338, which means he would have had to go 0-for-his-next-1,183 AB’s to get his average to fall under .300.

So he basically could’ve gone hitless for two whole seasons and still end up with a career .300 average.
